Usage Guide

How to wire up this component in your app — props, callbacks, customization, and the conventions Diamond shares across the library.

Sides and groups

side="them" (default) or side="me" mirrors the bubble. Wrap a thread in ChatBubbleGroup for consistent spacing and the iOS-style group corners.

Media bubbles

The media variant uses media + mediaCaption instead of children.

Universal patterns

Every Diamond component shares the same prop conventions, so once you learn one you can predict the others.

  • variant — discriminated union of every visual option. Categories shown above are docs-only metadata; the prop is a flat string union.
  • accent — any CSS color string. Overrides --diamond-accent just for that instance via inline style. Cascades into hover, ring, and selection states.
  • asChild (when present) — renders the underlying primitive via @radix-ui/react-slot, letting you compose with <Link>, motion.button, etc.
  • className — merged with internal Tailwind classes via cn(). Use it to override layout, spacing, or colors.
  • Native HTML attributes (onClick, aria-*, data-*, ref, etc.) flow through to the root element without any whitelist.
  • Diamond is the skin: zero domain state, zero fetch, zero providers. You wire data and reactions in your app code; the components just render and emit events.
